The truth is he is needed for fucking depth this season.
I'm still hopeful they'll grab an upper classman with some game reps for depth. I'm all for this kid getting signed and sealed early, but I don't like him as the 3rd string guy this season.
Most transfer QBs want a path to play right away, so it might be a smaller poll for decent QBs who are willing to sit behind Penix for a year to only compete against Morris and Mack
There are always some upperclassmen or even grad transfers available who aren't competing for the starting spot at their own school and want a change of scenery.
By my count, the Huskies have 89 players on scholarship (not including Mack). I could be off by 1 or 2 but I'm not sure if a 4th QB on scholarship is something they can fit in for 2023. Plus if you are starting your 3rd string QB, whether it's a scholarshiped grad transfer or a walk-on, that probably doesn't bode well for the season.
Meanwhile, Mack can play in 4 games and still preserve his redshirt so he could be an option.
